/**
 * Defines a class whose instances are stored as an intrinsic 
 * part of an owning entity and share the identity of the entity. 
 * Each of the persistent properties or fields of the embedded 
 * object is mapped to the database table for the entity. Only 
 * {@link Basic}, {@link Column}, {@link Lob}, 
 * {@link Temporal}, and {@link Enumerated} mapping 
 * annotations may portably be used to map the persistent fields 
 * or properties of classes annotated as {@link Embeddable}.
 *
 *  Note that the {@link Transient} annotation may be used to 
 * designate the non-persistent state of an embeddable class.
